Back when I did those film granularity tests, I ran Ektapress, I can't remember if it was base800 or base 1600 at normal; -1exposure, +1 development; -2 exposure, +2 development. I did note an increase in film speed at -2 exp, +2 dev, but not more than a half stop. The colour held together quite well though. William Robb
